Description: Radical Chic and Mau - Mauing the Flak Catchers is classic Tom Wolfe a funny irreverent and "delicious" (The Wall Street Journal) dissection of class and status by the master of New Journalism The phrase 'radical chic was coined by Tom Wolfe in 1970 when Leonard Bernstein gave a party for the Black Panthers at his duplex apartment on Park Avenue. That incongruous scene is re - created here in high fidelity as is another meeting ground between militant minorities and the liberal white establishment. Radical Chic provocatively explores the relationship between Black rage and White guilt. Mau - Mauing the Flak Catchers set in San Francisco at the Office of Economic Opportunity details the corruption and dysfunction of the anti - poverty programs run at that time. Wolfe uncovers how much of the program's money failed to reach its intended recipients. Instead hustlers gamed the system causing the OEO efforts to fail the impoverished communities.
